NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Customers at a west Nashville Waffle House restaurant were in shock Friday morning after a naked man and woman walked into the restaurant.

Authorities said the naked man, Larry Boyd, and the unidentified woman were sharing a room at the nearby Super 8 motel.

The woman told police that Boyd took a hit of cocaine and started acting crazy, trashing their room and choking her.

She then ran to the Waffle House located next door for help and locked herself in the bathroom. Boyd came chasing after her into the restaurant.

"I was standing here. I forgot exactly what I was doing, and all of a sudden a man and a woman with no clothes on came running into the store,” said Waffle House employee Judy Davenport.

While the woman was locked in the bathroom, Boyd was outside screaming that he was robbed. He gave up trying to get to her and ran outside and got in to her car just as police arrived.

"As we pulled over there, the suspect's vehicle was leaving the hotel parking lot in the back with no headlights on. There was a patrol car pulling up at that time, and he fled from that patrol car,” said Officer Curt Capps of the Metro Police Department.

Police said Boyd then led authorities on a high speed chase that ended when they spiked the car’s tires twice on Eighth Avenue.

Authorities took him into custody with no clothes on.

Boyd was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, felony evading arrest and other charges.

Authorities found one gram of crack rock cocaine in the car.
